Holiday Gifts for the Cook

I spend a ton of time in the kitchen so I like to have nice tools and appliances to help make it easier and a little fun. If you have someone on your holiday gift list that loves to cook I have a few suggestions for you. Here’s a few small kitchen appliance from my Gifts for the Cook list any cook would love to open on Christmas morning.

Made to prepare up to 12 cups of cooked rice, this is the ultimate kitchen tool to give you an extra hand when you’re pressed for time. Simply pour in the water and rice and let the cooker prepare the rice on its own. Whether you want to cook your white rice, brown rice, or quick rice, this cooker will prepare it accordingly. Once completed, the cooker automatically switches to “keep warm” so you won’t have overcooked rice. This rice cooker carries 6 cups of uncooked rice and 12 cups of cooked rice and also doubles as a slow cooker and steamer for meats and vegetables. So you can cook your whole meal in one pot! To make the process a breeze, this cooker comes with a measuring cup, spatula, spoon, and steamer.
